Definitions
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle with an electrical drive machine that is supplied with electrical energy by an electrical energy storage device.
- the motor vehicle also has an underbody region.
- European patent application EP 1 550 574 A2 discloses a motor vehicle that has a fuel cell system box arranged on an underside of a floor of the motor vehicle.
- German laid-open specification DE 44 12 450 A1 discloses an electric vehicle that has a fuel cell system in an underbody that is arranged so that drive assemblies can be installed from below or through the floor of the passenger compartment.
- the floor of the passenger compartment or the underbody of the vehicle can have cutouts or maintenance flaps for installation or maintenance purposes.
- the object of the invention is to reduce the time required to maintain or install an electrical energy storage device of a motor vehicle that has an electrical drive machine, which is supplied with electrical energy by an electrical energy storage device, particularly where the motor vehicle has an underbody region.
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle that has an electrical drive machine that is supplied with electrical energy by an electrical energy storage device.
- the motor vehicle also has an underbody region and the electrical energy storage device is accessible for maintenance and/or installation work via a maintenance cover in the underbody region. Specific maintenance and/or installation work can be carried out on the electrical energy storage device without the electrical energy storage device having to be removed from the motor vehicle.
- a maintenance cover is arranged in the region of the underbody of the motor vehicle and covers the electrical energy storage device at the bottom.
- a maintenance opening in the underbody region preferably can be opened and closed repeatedly without the maintenance cover being destroyed.
- the maintenance cover closes the maintenance opening during normal operation of the motor vehicle.
- the maintenance cover can be opened or removed to open the maintenance opening in the underbody region for carrying out maintenance and/or installation work.
- the electrical energy storage device preferably is arranged above the maintenance cover. Additionally, the electrical energy storage device preferably is attached to a supporting structure of the motor vehicle at a location so that at least part of the energy storage device is accessible through the maintenance opening from below.
- the electrical energy storage device preferably is a traction battery or a high-voltage battery.
- a traction battery which also is called a drive battery, is installed, as an energy supply means in vehicles that, at least partially, are driven electrically.
- the electrical energy storage device preferably has a diagnosis interface which is accessible without opening or removing the maintenance cover. Contact can be made with the diagnosis interface at the electrical energy storage device to read, for example, a fault memory.
- the maintenance cover may be a maintenance flap that is fit pivotally in the underbody region.
- the pivotal flap further facilitates maintenance and/or installation work on the electrical energy storage device in the installed state.
- the motor vehicle may be a pure electric vehicle.
- the electrical drive machine may be the only drive machine of the motor vehicle.
- the electric vehicle may be a plug-in electric vehicle that can be charged at a power outlet of an electrical supply system.
- the motor vehicle also may be a hybrid vehicle.
- a further drive machine such as an internal combustion engine, is provided in addition to the electrical drive machine.
- the further drive machine can be used to drive the motor vehicle in addition to or instead of the electrical drive machine.
- FIG. 1 is a bottom view of a rear area of a motor vehicle with a maintenance cover according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the bottom of the rear 1 of a motor vehicle 2 that preferably is a pure electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle.
- the motor vehicle 2 comprises two drive wheels 3 , 4 that are driven by an electrical drive machine. Additionally, the motor vehicle 2 has an underbody surface 5 that may be formed by a sheet material.
- the electrical drive machine is supplied with energy by an electrical energy storage device 6 .
- the electrical energy storage device 6 is arranged in a receptacle 8 partially between the drive wheels 3 , 4 in a rear region of the motor vehicle 2 in front of the rear axle and is attached to a supporting structure of the motor vehicle 2 .
- the underbody surface 5 includes a maintenance opening 9 that provides access to the receptacle 8 from below and hence the maintenance opening 9 provides access to the electrical energy storage device 6 in the receptacle 8 .
- the maintenance opening 9 in the underbody surface 5 of the motor vehicle 2 can be closed by a maintenance cover 10 that preferably is hinged pivotally to the underbody surface 5 along a hinge line 11 .
- a side of the maintenance cover 10 opposite the hinge line 11 includes selectively and repeatedly openable and closable locks 12 .
- the maintenance cover 10 can be opened to carry out specific maintenance work on the electrical energy storage device 6 and closed securely upon completion of the work.
- the electrical energy storage device 6 is a high-voltage battery and is equipped with a diagnosis interface 13 that is operatively associated with the electrical energy storage device 6 either by wires or wirelessly.
- the diagnosis interface 13 at the electrical energy storage device 6 is accessible from below without having to open the maintenance cover 10 and wired or wireless connection can be made with the diagnosis interface 13 to read a fault memory of the electrical energy storage device 6 .
- the effort required for maintenance can be reduced considerably.
- maintenance can be performed more quickly than in conventional motor vehicles. Maintenance costs can be reduced as a result.
